C
 Summer went away, still the yearning stays
Em         F
 I play it cool with the best of them
C
 I wait patiently, he's gonna notice me
Em     F                      Am
 It's okay, we're the best of friends
G
Anyway

C
 I hear it in your voice, you're smokin' with your boys
Em          F
 I touch my phone as if it's your face
C
 I didn't choose this town, I dream of getting out
Em            F                      Am
 There's just one who could make me stay
G
All my days

F                G                    C
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
         Am              F  
I waited ages to see you there
             G               C
I search the party of better bodies
        Am                   F
Just to learn that you never cared
               G                         C
You're on your own, kid, you always have been
C
 I see the great escape, so long, Daisy May
Em            F
 I picked the petals, he loves me not
C
 Something different bloomed, writing in my room
Em         F                    Am
 I play my songs in the parking lot
     G
I'll run away

F                G                    C
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
           Am              F   
I called a taxi to take me there
             G               C
I search the party of better bodies
        Am                          F  
Just to learn that my dreams aren't rare
               G
You're on your own, kid, you always have been

( F  G  C  Am )
( F  G  C  Am )
( F  G )   

F                G                    C
 From sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes
          Am                         F   
I gave my blood, sweat and tears for this
         G                      C
I hosted parties and starved my body
            Am                 F   
Like I'd be saved by a perfect kiss
                  G                 C
The jokes weren't funny, I took the money
                Am                      F   
My friends from home don't know what to say
          G                       C
I looked around in a blood-soaked gown
              Am                    F   
And I saw something they can't take away
                        G
'Cause there were pages turned
                 C
With the bridges burned
               Am                 F  
Everything you lose is a step you take
                       G
So make the friendship bracelets
                    C
Take the moment and taste it
              Am            F   
You've got no reason to be afraid
               G
You're on your own, kid

F              G
 Yeah, you can face this
F               G
 You're on your own, kid
                C
You always have been
